(RK480) This is a very quick and mess-free way to start a siphon without stirring up the sediment that you have waited so patiently to drop out of your wine or beer. With the Auto Siphon you can "quietly" siphon your wine or beer off the sediment. Instantly start a siphon by slowly pumping up and down one time on the rigid inner tubing. This plunger action forces the liquid upward through the inner tube and into your attached siphon hose. Works on carboys, pails, jugs and many other vessels. Requires our 3/8 inch vinyl siphon hose.
